COLLINS to deliver a package which he was told contained money, to PETER.
He explained in this connection that he never, at any time, knew what was
actually in any of the packages or envelopes, which he transmitted and
that he never tried to inquire as to their contents on the assumption that
such inquiry would arouse the distrust of his correspondents.

CHAMBERS related that after HAROIfi TT»RE«s death, a meeting

purpose of electing a 'new leader for the group. JOHtS'ABT was elected

MAURICE HALPERIN
The following investigation was conducted by Special Agent JEROME
M. GARLAND. ■ „
It has previously been reported that under postmark of San Antonio.
Texas, February 18, 1916, one LOUIS GEORG&JCAHIE of 110*9 West Magnolia Street,
San Antonio, Texas, corresponded with 2-AURICE HALFERIN. •
In answer to a request to identify KAHIE, the San Antonio Field
Office by letter of July 22, 191*6, in the captioned case submitted the fol-
lowing information* r ,
Special Agent (A) FRED B, CALD1VELL interviewed Mr. CARL GRAF,
Auditing Department, Public Service Company, San Antonio, Texas, on June 19,
191*6. He advised he is well acquainted with LOUIS GEORGE in his
opinion is a very high type young man and who does not mingle much with
other people.
He advised KAHLE had bean in the Army and that he had been dis-
charged sometime around Christmas, 191*5, and had returned to San Antonio
around the first of the year. To the knowledge of Mr. GRAF, XaKIE did not
seek any employment after his release from the army and did not run around
much. He does not believe that he has any close friends in San Antonio.
GRAF stated that KAHLE' s wife came from a very good family and is a very-
fine girl.
In his opinion KAHIE has a lot of ability, and he considers him
to be very loyal and does not believe that he is associated to any degree
with any groups who are opposed to our form of government. Mr. GRAF advised
that KAHIE had recently enrolled in the University of Texas at Austin, Texas,
to complete his work on a master's degree.
•
Mr. JACK PERSON, auditor. Frost National Bank, advised after check-
ing the records that neither iUHLE nor his wife maintained a bank account
at said bank, but that KAHLE had authority to draw on the account of Irs.
M»RTHA KAHIE, his mother. He also has authority to enter the safe deposit
box.
henry F. DUNBAR, manager. Retail Merchants Credit Association,
126 -west Commerce Street, San Antonio, advised there had been no credit in-
quiries concerning KAHIE since 1939. At that tine his credit was considered
favorable.
Agent contacted MAY H. BURKETT, chief clerk. Local Board 1*, San
Antonio, who made available for review the selective service file of LOUIS
GEORGE KAHLE which reflected he had registered in the first draft. The
mid
WFO 100-172*93
% - ’ • . • ....... ‘ -
file further reflects KAHLE was inducted *into the U. S. Amy at Fort George \
Meade, Maryland, and he was subsequently transferred to Fort Myer, Virginia.^
At the time of his induction into the U. S. Army, he was' residing at 926
-Massachusetts Avenue, TTashington, D. C., and was employed in the Office of
Strategic Services as an assistant social science analyst. . It was indicated
that he had held that position at Washington, D. C., since April 15, 19l*2, ..
and that he was specializing in Latin American Affairs and research. In
view of this position, he attempted to secure an occupational deferment. How-
ever, he received no such deferment.
He was assigned army serial No. 35,750,261 and had a rank of ser- '
geant, and was an intelligence analyst serving in Headquarters Detachment,
SSU CASH, Washington, D. C. He served at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and was
separated from the service on November 7, 191*5, at Fort Belvoir. . By letter
dated November 20, 191*5, which shows a return address of 1816- 29th Street,
S. £., Washington, D. C. , KAHLE. advised his draft board he had been separated
from the service and that he intended taking a trip through the New England
states prior to his return to San Antonio about December. 20, 191*5.
It appears from the information obtained that KAHLE has not been
in San Antonio since early 191*2 and his close associates would be those with
whom he worked in the Office of Strategic Services and with those whom he
came in contact during his military service.
His selective service file reflects his mother Mrs. MARTHA. K*
KAHLE resides at 1 1*1*9 West Magnolia, San Antonio, and while he was in the
army and prior thereto his wife Mrs. BARBETH SV KAHLE resided at 926 Massa-
chusetts Avenue, N. ¥. , apt. 2*0l*, Washington, D. C. His religion is indi-
cated to be Christian Scientist.
On July 9, 19l*6, Special Agent GEORGE ¥. H. CARLSON contacted Mrs.
FINK! JONES, registrar’s office. University of Texas, Austin, Texas, who
advised the file of LOUIS GEORGE KAHLE reflected he reentered the University
of Texas on July 1, lfSiBTTCfiSrwas working on his doctor’s degree. She ad-
vised at the time of the interview that KAHLE’ s Austin address was not avail-
able, and that the only address he 'had was that of his mother in San Antonio,
Texas. Agent CARLSON contacted confidential informants at Austin, Texas,
and there was no information to indicate that KAHIE is a member of or asso-
ciates with, or has attended any meeting of communist groups at the Univer-
sity of Texas. There is also no record of his attending any such meetings
in San Antonio.

City that he received a letter from the State Department which disapproved ^
his request for sick leave. The letter read as follows* "Under the date
of March 5 you submitted your resignation from the Department to be effec -
tive May 31. It is within the province of the State Department to make an
administrative determination relative to the granting of sick leave requested
at the termination of an appointment. In the light of certain investigation
which has been conducted by the Department, it has been administratively-
determined that the Department will not approve your request for sick leave
for the period from March 5 to May 31. Accordingly, I have instructed the
Division of Finance to pay for the period on an annual leave basis. You
will of course receive a final lump sum payment for any additional leave

British who want the mission to fail anyway are very happy over the turn of
events. Mrs. KALPERIN agreed but remarked "He got his loan, they got a loan,
Ethiopia." BORAH concurred but said it was negotiated here and they hate
to turn the grain and food stuffs over to UNRRA which bears out part of PARR’s
story that the Ethiopians wouldn’t touch him with a long pole.

in a haystack, I had too little advance notice of my mission for me ■
to be able to -write Dr. Juan vicens in Mexico city for her address, i
but X felt sure that she was still in Paris. I first inquired of . #
l iss Panelcpe iicyall, librarian of the itmorican iribassy. Through
this opening, I learned that iiss -joyall and i-iss Jose 1 eyer, -the
Library of Congress representative in Paris, had engage-d in the
dangerous work cf talcing down German posters -nd collecting literature
of the French Resistance as a means of pro vi din, documentation °f the
occupation for coming generations. Their services during the period
have been officially recognized by the Council of national Resistance
of France, a recognition cf which their .American confreres may -;ell be
. proud, iiss myall did not know ime. mdrcs but referred me to i lie.
Yvonne Odon, librarian of the 1-Usec de 1' Homme, the anthropological
institute. Again I drew a blfcnic so far as Teresa was concerned, but
^ learned the heroic story of the : usee during the occupation. Hardly
s week had passed after the Germans entered ?aiis before the entire
staff of the i.useura had organized for resistance, and as turning
out clandestine leaflets from the mimeograph machine in the basement,
lany of these exposed the fallacies of the racial myths the Nazis
began to disseminate, a contribution which nthropolc gists are
peculiarly well fitted to make. The lluseum was a center cf activity
for organizing the intellectuals of Paris against the Germans — — the
attorneys, the doctors, the scientists, the teachers. In 19u3 ihe
Gestapo raided 'the place, seventeen members cf the staff were executed,
nd many others, including Ille. Gdon, were sent to concentration
camps in Germany. ,hen j net i-llc. Gdon In November, she had fairly
well recovered from her two years in havensbruck, end was busily
organizing two sm- 11 demonstration libraries, along the lines of. th~-
C'lifornia County system, in the Varcors r gion of 5r«? ncc which is
her birthpl ce and which was the center of the iaquis.
"She referred me to a Spanish photographer who had. done some
■work for the museum. The only vay to get in touch with him vas by ^
• letter. Ke knew ; me. jjidres but not her address which, he suggested,
I might be able to get from the Spanish bookshop on the Rue Gry-Lussac,
near the Luxembourg Palace, where the » >£ par a ti c ns Conference was going
on. henever I vent to the Luxembourg Palace, I stored by the sho>
and never did I find it open— the proprietor, according to a card oh
the door, v -s out fer lvncheon, tea or dinner, or it ’ -.s a -■ onday
vhen all shops arc closed. So at fee end of November my euest r&s
no farther advanced than irhen 1 arrived.

ii jhen at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, ifcvember 30, when I was ||jTS, ; fo
lookin': over some literature I had picked up the day before at the •
mass meeting of the International Congress of .iomen, I found Teresa s _ J
name and address as Chairman of ;he League of Spanish jomen, one ox I
the organizations parti ci?a tin. in the Congress. I had attended a few y
sessions of the Congress during the preceding •• eel:, I had seen and f
been introduced to 1-assionaiia, I h*.d net several of the Spanish _ f
delegates but inexplicably it had never occurred tc me that here w s
the place to inquire for ime. jjidres. At b a.m. I was on my way o
the eastern part of laris, the working- class district, here the address
was a blank door in a high wall. Opening it, I saw across a ; yard ^a
tao-story shed-like structure, inside the main entrance of i hich tt. s
a blackboard with notices of union meetings during the coming week,
and the schedule of classes of the 1' Uni ver site Pouvelle. I taeir
I was hot on the scent. .Jut the concierge, ' hen I finally fcund him,
had never heard of ! me. .jidres nor yvt of the 1‘ Union oes .-ei.mes •
Lspa-noles. I be;.ged*him to recall if there V s anyone . -ho spoke
Spanish anywhere in the man:/ offices and he remembere-. two Spanish
t^ ists. Never h.s the sound cf clicking typewriters seemed so musical
to me as it did that morning when I approached the room, xhe typists,
as I learned later, were two Spanish women -.ho volunteered their services
ever r Sunday to the cause cf Spanish liberation. Obey knew Teresa
veil*, and • hen 1 had assured them that my desire to see her was inendly
(T happened to be rearing uniform tint day;, they gave me an address
where I should be sure to find her at four that afternoen. The address
vas a room on the sixth floor cf an old building on the Rue Richelieu, -
just above the jibliptheque Rationale. It was a ralkup and there was
no li ht either -vithin or from without, for ?aris was - lready d ^rk
with heavy rain and fog. 'Osin;, vy cigarette lighter -s ht,
I mx.de my : ay up the six flights, hearing only the ecno of w
on th/ stairs. The room I entered vas dark, out in th feeble il<=me
of Bv li htor, it hid a familiar appearance^ it lr as the anteroom of
one of the orrond3.sseir.ent offices of the Union of French ..omen, there
was literature on the tables, posters on the walls, a telephone, and a
typewriter. Jut there was no sound or sign of life. ••
I stood there in the darkness, listening to the beating'
of th rain on the rcof and catching my breath after the climb, I sav
a faint line of li.ht at the floor .-.cross the room. I went toward it,
opened a door, and at the end of a long corridor, t::ere was another
and stronger line- of light along the floor. Upon opening the se ond
door 1 saw "roup of women seated around a table, speaking earnestly
and verr rapidly in Spanish. They looked up greatly startled at ny
ap.earance, and when I asked if Itoe. Andres was present, a slender -Toman

des a At this point, Teresa embraced me rcmOy, and I returned
her embrace. She asked me if I'd rind waiting half an hour until she
had finished her meeting which was of the utmost importance. After
searching for her for a month, nd spending the whole day on the
quest, I .assured ner than half an hour was of no i-.x^rtance. Later
I learned she ~e.s giving final instructions to the Spanish i-cnen

a PLC members may recall that a fund of about ' 625 was collected
by the spring of 19 Ul, the purpose of- which was to pay the passage
of Teresa from France to : exico. After the Germans entered -aris,
however, it was impossiole to get in touch with her. This res because
sue and Emilio knew that their only safety lay in droning cut of. sight,
for France had put a hi ,h price on their heads nd the Gestapo "ould
have been only toe railing to apprehend them, ihey therefore gave up
their intellectual connections, aid in order to support life took jobs
on a chicken .aid rabbit farm outside of Paris. Lmilio fed the stock,
and Teres ; slau Ltered and dressed tire chickens nd hares for market.
They left Paris by train at six each morning, r turning at six each
night. _Jttf>r having someth- ng to eat— and during 15'ltl and 19h2 it ras

it into four parts, sending each in a different ray. Tiro part3 reached
Teresa at this critical time in lpii2, and a third in the summer of 191:5.
She thought she ci..ht still receive the fourth part. .Again and again
she told me. that it was not the food .and medicine bou ght by the -.LC fund
which had alone saved her life; it was the thought th.*t librarians

very little in comparison to her own contribution. Her father, the
mayor of a town in the .sturias, was executed by the j*?ncistsj
two brothers were Icilled in the Loyalist armies: her firstborn son
died of privation and .n tonic, the second, would likewise have died
of privation in Paris if Teresa had not sent him to her mother in '
1-adrid, 'here he sti .1 is. Teresa and Lmilio, if ted "nd ’ell tr.ined

A lead set forth for the Washington Field Office to ’idlntify
ttie occupants of Apartment 421, 3700 Massachusetts Avenue, N» T7. , resulted
in the disclosure through Hr. ED'AED YOUNG, desk clerk at that address,
that one jaffiMLOCKE and wife, CORA S., and Mr. JUSTINALOCKE reside on those
premises. '\ - . . •••. - — VT* . 0.. V
H(
A .check through the credit bureau disclosed that Hr r 0HN"
lOCKE, former residence 1239 Oakcrest Road, Arlington, Virginia, now re—
sides at 3700 Massachusetts Avenue. He was a major in the army and former-
ly resided while .in the army at 715 Oakwood Avenue, Dayton, Ohio. He was
later assigned to the Air Corps, ijar Department, Pentagon Building, TTash-
ington, D. C ., where he has been since 1941* He was formerly employed as
a sales manager in the Talbott Building, Dayton, Ohio, and was also an ac-
countant with the Inland Manufacturing Company in Dayton, Ohio. He was
employed for himself as a broker at 40 Wall Street, Hew York City.
Indices are negative regarding. these individuals.
• . It is probable that either JOHN LOCKE or JUSTIN LOCKE is
identical with the individual who was observed leaving the residence of
Dr. .MORSE sometime ago. It is believed that this man is a patient of the
subject.
Regarding Washington Field office lead to ascertain the
background of RUTH E. WINN, Apartment 204, 719 D Street, N. E., who was
recommended by Dl'SSWusji^to the National Catholic Sdiool of Social Ser-
vice, the following investigation was conducted*
A strictly confidential source obtained the records in the
office of the National Catholic School of Social Service and an examina-
tion of these records disclosed briefly the following information:
RUTH E. WINN made application for a regular scholarship .
with this institution on June# 5, 1946. Her address is given as above,
telephone Ludlow 0658. Her permanent address was given as 326 Exchange
Street, Emporia, Kansas . She was born at Andong, Korea on February 2,
1915* She is single and her religion is Protestant. Her father is Rev.
RODGER E. TJINH, deceased. Her mother is Mrs. KATHERBflj/jINN, 326 Exchange
Street, Emporia, Kansas. Her present employment is as educational consultant
WO 100-17493
Eastern Area, Mexican Red Cross, Alexandria, Virginia. It was believed
that she night be identical with a RI3TKT7INN who is believed to be employed
in the offices of the Soviet Government yurchasing Commission, however, the
RUTH T7INN in question does not give on her scholarship application any such
previous employment. She was formerly employed with the American Red Cross
Motor Corps affiliated with the Montgomery County, Maryland chapter at Be—
thesda, Maryland. She was formerly employed by the Menninger Clinic at To-
peka, Kansas where Dr. MORSE and his wife were connected. She was the as-
sistant to HIHAH C. 1TSUIIINGER, M.D. , from September, 1936 to February,
1938 as a student aid at that institution. She was employed at the Chest-
nut Lodge Sanitarium at Rockville, Maryland for DEXTER M. BULLARD, M.D. ,
from October, 1938 to June, 1943* She was thereafter employed by the Amer-
ican Red Cross from July, 1943 to the present time. Her present supervisor
is Mrs. MARGARET HAGAN, Field Director. She has specialized in psychiatric
work and desires to transfer to practical social training. She is a grad-
uate of the University of Oklahoma as of September 13, 1935.
Il4.a
References included her former employers, doctors with whom
she has worked, and in a further communication she gives the of Dr.
ROBERT MORSE as a reference suggesting that he first be contacted in the
hopes that sufficient recommendation will come from him in order that the
other names given as references will not be called upon due to their pres-
ent military status and other inaccessibility at the present time.
There appears in this file a letter from Dr. ROBERT T. MORSE "
recommending Miss RUTH EtfTiINN for a scholarship. In this letter he deals
with his previous knowledge of Miss TTINN's character, reputation, ability,
i; standing in the communities in which they have been jointly associated.
It appears that Dr. MORSE' s \?ife and Miss 17INN were personally friendly.
Substantiating documents from previous employment are avail-
able thereby indicating that if she had been employed by the Soviet Purchas-
ing Commission some discrepancies might exist inasmuch as there is no sub-
stantial time lapsed between her leaving a position and entering upon a
new one.
Her photograph was obtained and is being maintained in this
file.
There is no indication that further investigation of Miss
1JINN is warranted at this time.

t^a game; his first bout in several years was a friendly one in London
on 19U3 with Sir George Thomas, off and on British champion. Of four
games played, Newman lost one, drew two, and one the other.
. "After getting his law degree at Columbia, Newman kept on with his
hobby of advanced mathematics. He was a contributor to 'Scripta Mathematical
and a co-author with Edward Kasner, professor of mathematics at Columbia
university of the exciting and distinguished best-seller, 'Mathematics
and the imagination* , In the research which went into the volume, Newman
examined thousands of medical puzzles, /_ few score of them can be found
in his, 'How to Torture Your Friends,' an infuriating book of brain teasers.
His next book was, 'Tools of ffar, * the history of man's use and development
of weapons and defense. It appeared just before the war and received its
highest acclaim from persons in the 17ar Department. He 'has just finished
a new edition of, 'Common Sense of the Exact Sciences,' by the famous
British mathematician, Yiilliam Kingdon Clifford, whose classic work fore-
shadowed the relativity theory.

relationship of mathematics to such varied fields as music, tennis.

/ as second in command to Winfield ^oifflar in London, England, in charge
of the GETf vrork an bomb damage assessment and analysis of enemy equip-
ment. The massive militarily significance triumphs which can be at-
trxbuted to Nev/raan and his staff constituted one of the best detective
stories of the War, unfortunately still subject to secrecy regulations.
Neuman returned from London in 19UU and worked as Special Assistant
to Under Secretary of War, Patterson. Their relations had a cynical
pattern. ■>. _
"Neuman stood * h in Patterson’s esteem following the writing
of ‘Tools of War*. The two fought bitterly during the WpB days but
became reconciled and friendly when Neuman came back from London.
During the next row of atomic energy legislation, their fencing was
epic. Each has a wholesome respect for the other’s capacity and
honesty but they can»t step fighting when they disagree.

Newman was one of the first recruits. He worked as Nathan’s *
deputy in a wide variety of economic fields until the May- Johnson
Bill was revealed to the' light of day. Newman read it and the

more roars than at any tine since Jesse Jones vacated its corridors.

"I received your letter recently and I hope that you have
already taken your intended trip to the ocean and had a lot of
pleasure from it. Many thanks to you for the kind invitation
to spend my vacation with you, but unfortunately I'm not able
to take advantage of it. In the first place, I do not intend
to take a vacation inasmuch as I'm economizing - money for the
trip - and in the second place, I'm so busy that I haven't a
single free minute. The matters having to do with my departure
are very bad. — everywhere delays — everywhere obstacles, and
besides this, a lot of various worries and troubles, all of
which makes one's head go around. And then too, its very
hot in Uashington, and humid, and its very difficult to work
under Ihose conditions j - and also, everything is going sc high,
prices are rising, and generally this is happening all over.

"I have read quite a few articles about life in Shanghai.
It would seem that only crazy people and merchants go there. .But
again it is necessary to. repeat: - circumstances are stronger
than we are. At the present time I'm sitting on pins and .
needles, awaiting my passport, and then .1 will still have to
get the ticket for the passage. All this is difficult when you
have no connections and when there is no money to spare. —
"How is Anatoli feeling? I can imagine how grateful he
feels after all his experiences. I would be glad if he could
drop me a few lines, but knowing his dislike for writing letters,
I don't even want to ask him. It could be possible that I might
have to go to Washington to check on matters regarding my
passage, and in that case I hope to see you all. when are you
going tp the ocean?

Tass in 19294 Ife speaks little Russian, cables his stories in English.
Tass sends 7,000 to 8,000 words a day about the U.S. to Moscow;
its report is light on crime, scandal and feature news, heavy on
production figures, U.S. culture, high-level politics, anything critical
of the Kremlin. .
NETS BY AIR. Tass ’s ancestral predecessor was the Czarist Russian
Telegraph Agency, which worked hand-in-glove with the tight world news
cartel promoted by England’s Julius Reuter. In early Bolshevik days
it was revived as Rosta; Tass, born in 1925, took over Rosta ten years
later,. . , •
The job of rebuilding the agency fell in 1921 to a dynamic, Polish-
born Old Bolshevik named Jacob Doletsky. Doletsky worked out news-
exchange deals with A.P* Boss Kent Cooper and U.P. President Karl
Bickel. (A.P. and U.P. give Tass their own U.S. news reports in
return for Tass coverage of Russia.)
In 1937 Doletsky and his head staffers were suddenly purged
as "Trotskyist bandits.” Since June I9ii3 the “Chief Responsible
leader” of Tass has been one NikolajJfPalgunov.
KREICLIN SERVICE. Into GHQ Palgunov’s overseas staff pours
a daily torrent; full texts of speeches, magazine and newspaper articles
Government handouts, technical and business reports, verbatim pickups
from A.P., U.P. , the New York TIMES. They need not bother to slant
their stuff; Moscow takes care of that. But neither Moscow ’s big-
circulation four-page dailies, like Pravda and Izvestia, nor any other
Soviet paper prints much more foreign nows than many small town U.S.
dailies.'
Nobody believes Tass’s excess file is wasted. Being a
Government agency, Tass serves the Kremlin as much as it does the
press; and the Kremlin’s vast intake can move quickly and cheaply by
press rates. Tassmen get to see a lot of things Russian diplomats
might not.
DOUBLE DUTY. Tassmen are expected to learn the language of the
country where they work, ordinarily go out for three years at a time.
In London, bespectacled, Buddha-like Tass Chief AlexandepISverlov has
a staff, of 25 putting out the Soviet ’fonitor, an English-language paper
that is free for . all who want it. Ip Vienna, where its news and
pictures are also free, Tassmen have been a little piqued because
Austrian editors prefer to pay for fresher A.P., U.P., or Reuter news.^
During the war, some Tass correspondents in France, Italy and
Africa never cabled a line; they wore Red army uniforms, were good
mixers, busily gathered military intelligence, -aid in Ottawa there was
Nikolai/ Zheivino v, who lasted until last September - shortly after

Daily News. This Article bearing the dateline of Mexico, D.F. July 26th
states that Moscow is pouting a flood'of propaganda into Central America under
the guise of news. It further advises that Tass News .lgen^., the Official
Soviet News Service, is sending thousands of words a day into Mexicy City.
It relates that Tass does not print news anywhere in Mexico or Central America
but its dispatches appear word for word in many newspapers through Middle
.Ljnerica. MORRISON explains that the system is simple inasmuch as there is a
news service established in Mexico City which is known aa^ANIA - Agenda
Noticias Latino Americana. MORRISON explains that this ndws service is a
nysterxous organization and that 4>merican correspondents seldom see its*
workers. Ife further explained that ANLA, according to informed sources,
receives Tass news which is always slanted right down the Moscow Party line.
transmits that news under an' ANLA credit to its newspaper subscribers,
in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras.
